William Osgood and Elizabeth Clere Osgood · 8 October 2013 · William Osgood The Osgood Genealogy edited by Eben Putnam, Salem, Mass in 1894, speaks of William Osgood as follows:

“He was the youngest of three emigrant Osgoods: Christopher, John and William. He came to this country with the family of the emigrant John, in the ship “Confidence”, which sailed from Southampton, England, 11 Apr 1638. The family of John consisted of wife, Sarah and four children born in England. William may have served as protector to John’s family as the father was already in New England, judging of the country. The first mention of William in America was that of his building a barn for John Spencer of Newbury, Mass in 1640. John settled first in Newbury and William no doubt made his home with John’s family, as we have no account that he was married at this time. He was a millwright and carpenter. He and his associates, in prospecting the valley of the Merrimack for a place to locate, heard the sound of waterfalls at a distance, went in that direction and came to falls on the Powow River, not far from its junction with the Merrimack. The place being favorable for a mill site, he located there and built and owned the first mill in Salisbury, which long retained the name of “Osgood’s Mills”.

These mills were built where now stand the Salisbury factories. He was one of the proprietors of Salisbury in 1640, and had a grant of land on each side of the Powow extending from its juncture with the Merrimack back half a mile, embracing a large portion of the land on which stands the settlement of Salisbury and Amesbury Mills. This homestead farm contained a six-acre lot on Round Hill in Salisbury besides which he owned other tracts of land.”
